He may not read the scripts before signing the projects and does them based on narration, director, producer. But I find it very hard to believe that once he has signed on, he still lacks seriousness or preparation. As that is contrary to what everyone else has said about him.
Every other person he has worked with said how focused he is and how overprepared too. How he overthinks it. FQ had talked about how serious and focused Wahaj was when getting into Hamza's cktr before shooting Fitoor scenes. Hiba said how Wahaj is the kind of guy who asks his co-actors to do reherasals prior. The actress who played his sister in MPHT and Hira who played his sister in TB said how much Wahaj helped them in setting up their scenes right down to the tiniest movements. Sohail Samir (Anwar chachu) said Wahaj overthinks scenes too much. When Tere Bin came, we heard how overprepared he was for Murtasim's role. Even in MPHT, he was the only one who did any acting and understood his cktr. He was playing Murtasim at the same time but there was nothing of Murtasim in how Saad was played. Saad was also not same as how Wahaj himself is. Now I am supposed to believe that an actor who performed a character with their own body language, way of crying, talking, smiling and interacting (distinct from his other cktr and his own real self) is not serious.
Maybe what Hania meant was that he doesn't memorize lines but improvises them as he does the scene based on the cktr emotions at the time. Because based on what I have heard other actors say about Wahaj in their past ivs, I do not buy this brand new narrative about his lack of seriousness and commitment to his craft. His unprofessionalism. This new narrative has begun to only emerge in last few months. Before that no one ever said any of these things about him. And now neutrals like you are parroting that same narrative.
